There are various reasons why a replacement may be necessary. In older homes, we may recommend a replacement to meet current codes or replace an aging drain system. Additionally, extensive cracks or damages may warrant a replacement rather than a repair due to simplicity and cost-effectiveness.
Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Binghamton’s skilled team can handle the installation of different types of basement drains, including:
- Box drains: The most common type with square or round grate covers that collect water in a box before draining through the plumbing.
- French drains/interior perimeter drains: Ideal for houses prone to frequent flooding as they are installed around the perimeter of the basement and channel water into a sump pump; effective for flood mitigation.
- Baseboard drains: Common in older homes susceptible to flooding; these drains direct collected water through pipes along the baseboard and out through corner pipes. They are cost-effective since they don't require floor removal but do require standing water to reach their level before draining.
